[QUOTE="krs, post: 1814668, member: 67742"] This has really nothing to do with the thickness of the computer. For a few versions, Apple made double use of the headphone jack with an extra contact that was used as a mike/line input. Maybe that is still there - I read that it sometimes takes a while for the Mac to recognize it. The bigger problem I find in general is that there is no decent Apple documentation for the Macs any more. One now depends on articles on the net, forums like this one or books written by third parties - I would really like documentation by the company which designed the product and knows its capabilities inside out. @akpasta There may be other options, but they all involve some sort of external device. It might be possible to feed audio in via bluetooth; the other connection I found interesting is via an iphone or ipad - all depends what the source of the audio is. But nothing as simple as just a cable. Here is a pretty detailed discussion about this back in 2012 [url]https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/90344/macbook-pro-mid-2012-microphone-input[/url] And here the option via iphone and ipad [url]https://www.macobserver.com/tips/quick-tip/iphone-audio-input-mac/[/url] [/QUOTE]
